45' Harris High Tech 45

1982 Harris High Tech 45 Racing Sailboat $28,000 (Project Boat, Huge Upside)

Price recently reduced from $35,000 to $28,000 due to the transmission needing replacement.
This 45-foot Harris High Tech racing sailboat is a solid project with serious potential. The engine runs strong, and the sails are in excellent condition, including additional racing sails that come with the boat.
I personally cruised this boat 10 to 12 times last summer, and it sailed beautifully every time. Fast, stable, and responsive.

When I purchased the boat, the interior had significant mold damage, and the berthing racks were rotted. Ive already completed the hardest part of the job by fully gutting and removing all the damaged wood. The boat is now clean and ready for a remodel, the heavy demo work is done. The berthing racks have not yet been rebuilt, leaving a blank slate for customization.
Once the transmission is replaced, the boat will be fully operable again. When properly restored, this vessel is valued at around $65,000, making this a great opportunity for someone looking to put in the work and gain instant equity.

Highlights:
45 ft high-performance racing sailboat
Engine runs well
Sails in excellent condition extra racing sails
Major interior demo already completed
Sailed regularly last summer
Massive upside after restoration
This is a fair price for a serious sailor or project-minded buyer who wants a fast, proven boat with real value potential.
